We Weren't Meant to Be.

by Courageous Dreamer   Aug 1, 2008


These two months that I haven't seen you,
have left me in pain and at loss for words.
Feelings that once were clear, have faded.
Sooner than later, I will be left with nothing.

I always thought you were incredible,
that nobody could ever compare to you.
But lately I've realized that I was wrong.
There is someone better for me.

It hurts me to know that I liked you,
and unexpectedly got nothing in return.
I was lucky if I ever got a sweet "hello"
Those butterflies you gave me, are lost.

I lived full of optimism for a while,
but lately it's faded away along with my feelings.
I hoped we would be together,
although the more I think about it, it's so unrealistic.

In my eyes we weren't meant to be,
and I still believe I'll never be with you.
I think that I'm meant for someone else,
who can give me more than what you could.

Maybe I never gave you the chance,
for I never expressed to you how I felt.
It didn't seem to me as if you were interested,
so I assumed there was nothing between us.

Although I miss you everyday,
and wish more than anything to be yours.
I have to face reality once and for all,
and realize that you may never be mine.

    It sad that we always have to realize later how we're not meant for that one person we cared so much about. But it does good to know that we would one day find someone who will treat us right in the end.

    Love how many girls can relate to this poem, it will help lots of girls to realize what their worth! :D

    take care -n- keep it up!

    Mkayy. I don't like love poems, but this one wasn't completely horrible. It held my intrest, and it made it personal. It's hard to let go of someone you love, or maybe thought you loved. I've had to do it and I'm sure a lot of other people have too. So this poem was very relatable which is good. :]

    If I was going to change anything I'd put more lines in it like the one below. Just because I think it adds more interest and metaphors, which makes the reader think.

    Those butterflies you gave me, are lost.
    `` I love this line. It adds a hint of uniquness.

    Well considering I don't like love poems at all, I think this was a pretty good one. You got across to the reader exactly how you felt.. and I loved how there was tiny bit of hope still lingering in the atmosphere even when it was so sad and depressing.

    Great job!

    Keep writing!

    This really wasn't one of your best. I was actually sort of disappointed. There were a lot of "I"s and I felt like there was too much telling instead of showing. The emotion was there, but it didn't really jump out enough. Like you're telling everything like it is and it was more just a paragraph of a letter that you broke sentences into parts and made them verses.

    As I reread it though, there are some of the blatant lines that I actually found extremely useful and powerful.

    It hurts me to know that I liked you,
    and unexpectedly got nothing in return.
    `Like there. You say unexpectedly got nothing in return. It shows a confidence in a relationship that didn't exist yet, and many girls need that now-a-days. Guys, too. We always bring ourselves down, hoping for the worst and normally getting it -- it doesn't hurt so much. But you show confidence, which makes it hurt all the more when you don't get what you expect. It's quite clever, actually.

    I think that I'm meant for someone else,
    who can give me more than what you could.
    `These lines show such strength, it's amazing. Getting over someone and being able to actually say this straight out about them and to them is a huge step. Whether intentional or not, you're sort of insulting them, saying they couldn't provide enough to keep you with them. And it makes me smile :)

    So overall, it could've been written better. I think it was because of lack of imagery and metaphor and I normally LOVE imagery and metaphor ... so I'm being sort of biased.

    It was a good, but not GREAT poem.

    Keep it up though, because I know you have more masterpieces as opposed to your previous ones coming ;D
